Uncle Buck and his tips for Success

[Melinda]

Just thinking about when I first heard about "Uncle Buck", one of the Star Mcdougallers. If any of you haven't read his story, it is a great one - especially because he offers his tried and true "tips for success'.

When I think of Uncle Buck I will always think of John Candy and I seriously doubt that he was a McDougaller.

His Star McDougaller story with some of the tips.

I don't have the url's for his original posts on VegSource's original McDougall forums with the 2 pages of tips, but here are 2 old blog posts containing them all:

Part 1 and Part 2

One I do not do is eat only when hungry. I like to have three good meals a day and if I am hungry will have some raw vegies or a piece of fruit. If I wait until I am really hungry I will over eat at the next meal. As a matter of fact I eat breakfast and am usually hungry by lunch time any way and again at dinner.

I also weigh frequently. Two or three pounds can easily creep on and after a while two or three more. A calorie is a calorie and I do not agree that you cannot overeat even on this way of eating.

Anyone who says you can not overeat on this program are wrong. It may be true for some people, but not for all. You could be eating beans, brown rice, whole grain pasta, corns, potatoes with no added fats and still hit BMI of 26 easily or thereof. You may not hit 30 BMI etc but you will be overweight.
